SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 29
ENGLISH
System Configuration
Later, it is recommended that you adjust the out-
put levels while listening to various sources, as
opposed to the test tone. See page 37 for more
information on trimming the output levels to
external source material.
NOTE: The subwoofer output level is not
adjustable using the test tone. To change the
subwoofer level, follow the steps for Output Level
Trim Adjustment on page 37.
When all channels have an equal volume level,
the adjustment is complete. Now turn the
Volume
d
down to about –40dB, otherwise
the listening level may be too high as soon as the
source’s music starts to play. To exit this menu,
press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
until the
on-screen
›
cursor is next to the BACK TO
MASTER MENU line, and then press the
OK Button
F
to return to the MASTER
MENU.
The output levels may also be adjusted at any
time using the remote control and semi-OSD sys-
tem. To adjust the output levels in this fashion,
press the Test Button
8
. As soon as the
button is pressed, the test tone will begin to
circulate as indicated earlier. The correct channel
from which the test noise should be heard will be
shown in the lower third of the video screen and
in the Main Information Display
Ò
. While
the test noise is circulating, the proper channel
position will also be indicated in the Speaker/
Channel Input Indicators
$
by a blinking
letter within the correct channel. Turn up the
Volume
d
until you can hear the test noise
clearly.
To adjust the output level, press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
until the desired level is shown in
the display or on screen. Once the buttons are
released, the test noise will begin to circulate
again in five seconds.
When all channels have the same output level,
turn the Volume
d
down to about –40dB,
otherwise the listening level may be too high as
soon as the source’s music starts to play.
After wards press the Test Tone Selector
8
button again to turn the test tone off and
complete the process.
IMPORTANT NOTE:The Output level adjust-
ment made will be effective for all inputs, but
only for the actual surround mode selected. To be
effective for any other mode select that mode
(with any input) and repeat the level adjustment
described above. This will also allow you to
compensate level differences between speakers,
that may be different with each surround mode,
or to increase or decrease the level of certain
speakers intentionally, depending on the
surround mode selected.
After one input has been adjusted for analog or
digital input, speaker type and surround mode,
return to the
INPUT SETUP line on the
MASTER menu and enter the settings for each
input that you will use. In most cases, only the
digital input and surround mode may be different
from one input to the next, while the speaker
type will usually be the same (inputs set to
GLOBAL). But if prefered you can also select
different speaker types or turn speakers on or off
individually for each input in use.
Once the settings outlined on the previous pages
have been made, the AVR is ready for operation.
While there are some additional settings to be
made, these are best done after you have had an
opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and
different kinds of program material. These system
settings are described on pages 39 to 40 of this
manual. In addition, any of the settings made in
the initial configuration of the unit may be
changed at any time. As you add new or different
sources or speakers, or if you wish to change a
setting to better reflect your listening taste,
simply follow the instructions for changing the
settings for that parameter as shown in this
section.
Note that any settings changed at any time, also
when the discrete buttons are used only, will be
stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned
off completely, unless you perform a reset (see
page 48).
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR, you are about to
experience the finest in music and home-
theater listening. Enjoy!
